Kotlin language support for Gradle build scripts.

Gradle build scripts have historically been written in Groovy. The Gradle Kotlin DSL project was created to create statically typed, clear, concise,and descriptive build scripts with awesome IDE support.

Build scripts are written in the Kotlin programming language, but using a Kotlin DSL (domain specific language) designed specifically to support building software.

Questions that belong here:

  • What causes a specific build script error?
  • How to convert a specific construct of a Groovy build script to its Kotlin equivalent?
  • How to achieve a specific processing task in your Kotlin build script?

Do not use this tag for general gradle questions.

Note: Before version 0.10.1 the "Gradle Kotlin DSL" project was called "Gradle Script Kotlin".
